An Ambiphilic Phosphide with Three Different Coordination Modes to Group 7–10 Metals
Phosphide anions PX<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> with electron-withdrawing substituents display ambiphilic properties. The use of P(V) thiophosphorane substituents enables the coordination of the resulting bis(thiophosphoranyl)phosphide anion (<b>BTPP</b> = <b>L</b>) to a variety of transition metals from groups 7 to 10. A series of homoleptic and heteroleptic complexes was synthesized and X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that, depending on the metal, <b>L</b> may adopt three coordination modes (κ<sup>3</sup>-(S, P, S); κ<sup>2</sup>-(S, S); κ<sup>2</sup>-(S, P)) supporting three distinct geometries (octahedral; tetrahedral; square planar). Complex <b>L</b><sub><b>2</b></sub><b>Co</b> displays Single Molecule Magnet (SMM) properties, and complex <b>LRh(COD)</b> (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) catalyzes the hydrosilylation of terminal alkynes.
